In ancient Rome actors were so low status they were subject to infamia, which meant that they couldn't defend themselves in court and could even be beaten or killed without legal repercussions.

It was considered to be a worthless profession (actors were seen as professional liars) akin to prostitution.

Not all celebrities are actors, but my point is that Romans were around for almost 2000 years and that should tell you something.

You expect too much out of the profession.
